POWERFUL TWEETS by @ SteeleThoughts
"You can transform your school’s culture for free. It doesn’t cost anything to focus on the kids. It doesn’t cost anything to collaborate. And it doesn’t cost anything to keep a positive attitude."
"When teachers decide to have a good day, their students often end up having a good day as well."
IF YOU DON'T CURRENTLY FOLLOW @SteeleThoughts YOU REALLY SHOULD START!
A Meaningful Activity to try during 2nd Period!

PROFESSIONALISM ~
- Inputing Grades - Grades will be looked at each Friday for updates. If your grades are not updated weekly expect to meet with your appraiser.
- 24 HOURS - This is the maximum amount of time for returning an email or phone call to ANYONE, parents and colleagues. Be responsive, respectful, and resourceful. Remember, we are in the business to serve!
The most important thing to remember is to treat your clients (students and parents) as you would want you or your child to be treated.
